I did watch the pilot, back in the 70s, but in the final scenes when the pilots were landing on Egypt (you will recall they wore helmets of similar design to Pharonic headdress, and their fighters had Star-of-David squadron insignia painted on them), the show was interrupted by live coverage of Jimmy Carter, Menachem Begin, and Anwar Sadat signing the Camp David accords.

I was exceedingly stoned on some very righteous Smoky Mountain Green at the time, and immediately went into a fit of paranoia that took me months of sobriety to get past. For a minute, I thought the whole program had been filmed just as part of some elaborate propaganda scenario orchestrated by Jimmy Carter to sell us the treaty.

I never watched the show again, or its more recent retread. But I did start to get into the prequel "Caprica",
until they yanked it off TV just as I was starting to get hooked on it. I had had enough.

I kid you not.
